GILGAH. One of the four sons (his name is given the second place) of Jared. He was in all probability born in Asia before his father and associates commenced their wonderful journey to America. All we know of him is that when the Jaredites desired a king, he was one of those to whom this honor was offered, and who refused. From the general summary given us of the character of the people of that generation, we have every reason to believe he was a righteous man.
